Hello
Here is the patch I would like to suggest. It does the expansion if API
is used.
Greetings

Hello
A question about wikipedia.get and wikipedia._getEditPage:
Would it be possible to add an option 'expandtemplates=False'
and the code:
if expandtemplates: params[u'rvexpandtemplates'] = u''
to enable template expansion on pages when/if requested.
I can also provide a patch if this suggestions is welcome.
Thanks and greetings!
DrTrigon
